Banning the Burqa in France (192)
Yeah, it's fun to watch
bohdiprana: Trend setting is tough business. You just wait til Groucho Borka's become the subject of banning, you'll see.
I might even start putting super man crests on the back.
Canadians are extremely at ease eh.
Then I prefer all the possible bans rather than cultural suicide....I might even start putting super man crests on the back.

If a ban goes into affect in France and all 200 burka wearers start wearing miniskirts, what can be done with those dozens of burkas in stock?
I suggest converting them into dressing room tents.

they could always send them over here to Blackburn where I estimate there are about 4/10 burqa wearers if not more......

Actually, I read that the Interior Minister of France has an estimation of 2000 women wear burqa's. Still a small minority though.

The French have had a sort of love/ hate relationship with the Burka ever since Algeria in the early 60's. Many of the FLN guerrillas/ aka, 'terrorists' wore them to both elude the French military and to go around planting bombs in discos, movie theaters, cafes, bars, restaurants, etc. It was an excellent tactic and worked 99% of the time. It frustrated French authorities to no end. It led to many Arab women being 'manhandled' by the military, especially by the Legion Paras in the city of Algiers and Oran. They were told to stop...
The US troops went through a somewhat similar frustration with the traditional women's dress in Vietnam that hid many a Vietcong...
One noted French designer has possibly solved the problem of the Burkas.....turn them into mini dresses...nice
u2Kitty: Today I read an islamic quote:
There are as many paths to God as there are souls in the world....
At least gives ME something to think aboutKitty
This is so coincedental! Recently I wrote a bit about this sort of spiritual relationship and got some good feedback. I am Christian, and I often wonder why it is so hard for most Christians to accept the idea that God is indeed personal. SO personal, that the above quote rings sound and true--why can't Christians let God out of the box they sure seem to keep tightly shut! Am I the only one who sees this? Of course He gives of himself differently for all of us. WE'RE all different, aren't we? Is this concept really so far fetched, difficult to grasp? Thanks u2Kitty, for this quote.There are as many paths to God as there are souls in the world....
